For sale 1991 gti vr6 swap.
This car started as a tornado red 91 8v gti I purchased this car in 2007, it had been recently repainted corrado "flash red" It had a 1995 obd1 vr with the 02a 5 speed tranny . with the full 5 lug subframe 4 wheel disks and rear swing arm out of a donor jetta glx. It has a corrado slc master cylinder and pedal cluster. It also had the full mk3 dash with center console and 90' corrado g60 seats with red stripe interior panels and a one peice 8v gti back seat. at the time i bought it, it had no headliner. I have done many things since then. the first thing was i ended up replacing the block since the 95 vr had shot rings on cylinder 5. now the car has a 98 vr long block with the original 95 head and is still set up obd1. I have replaced the following items: vr long block obd2 100,000 miles est vr 12 v head "1995" all valves reground + autotech 262 cams. 20,000 miles since rebuid new head gasket new timing chain tensioners new hydraulic valve lifters new water pump new tensioner pulley new oil to water heat exchanger new shifter linkage new power steering rack with new inner and outer tie rod ends full borla 2.5 exhaust kit with high flow cat and tubular header coil overs (cant remeber the brand) new emergency brake cables with mk3 tubes. body repair: full passenger side floor replacement fully sealed and undercoated driver side door panel rust repaired and painted. trunk floor rust repaired and resealed and undercoated. I replaced the rad support and have a quad round setup with cross hair crystal clear head lights. I also have a single round badge-less grill thats included. resealed unused holes in firewall and replaced steering rack/ colum boot (missing when i purchased the car) Replaced headliner and recovered with aftermarket cloth. *(needs to be done again as i used the incorrect glue) Completely replaced dash with another donor mk3 dash ( i did this since the dash that was in it was modified very poorly and looked like crap. it now sits flush and has a near stock appearance. (the vin plate on the dash matches the car) the heater controls function properly as i replaced the switch cluster. The ac does not work as i had been running the car without a condeser, compressor or any lines/ electric. I do however have all the components to make the ac function . the gauge cluster is the vr cluster from a 95 gti/glx (black gauges not white like the obd2 cars) i have replaced both the speedo and tach servos and the speed sensor in the tranny. It also has a near mint 14" momo steering wheel. I replaced both manual door window regulators and shortened the cranks to be used while the doors r closed (a problem with mk3 dash swaps) the car currently sits on bbs rims from a mk4 jetta wolfsburg. I also have a set of black 15" steelies. It has the late mk2 big bumpers with no fogs The bad: has some rust forming around the bottom of the front and rear window sils. I began repair up front but it does need to be addressed. (the car comes with an entire extra rear hatch that can be swapped in to deal with the rear window. the front window has a crack and will have to be replaced the headliner (as stated before) needs to be removed and reglued. also needs the sunroof headliner piece (i have never had one in this car) needs tires needs to be inspected but it has always passed with no issue for me as the motor is essentially stock. the interior panels are getting pretty rough from age/ water damage. probably due to needing door window seals. The paint was nice when i bought the car but since it was a rushed job it hasn't held up very well and is pealing in some places. there are some minor body imperfections on the bumpers etc as the car was my daily driver. the driver side seat has some wear though on the bolsters but otherwise is fine. the clear coat on the wheels is pealing (common on these bbs's) and 2 have minor dents in the rim (still hold air and are balanced) this is truly reliable car with a well done swap. It was my daily driver for years. Im only getting rid of it since i recently got a vanagon which I'm focusing on now. feel free to contact me with any questions i know the car inside and out. |

New VW Beetle Convertible ad needs no disguise
Mon, 18 Feb 2013Convertibles make you do funny things. Ask someone if they'd drive a hardtop in near freezing temperatures with all the windows down and they might not even answer, thinking the question so ridiculous. Give that same person a convertible they love and you might just have to ask them to please put the top up even when snow is on the ground.
That guy has to take precautions to enjoy his proclivities, and as this new ad for the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible shows, not everyone understands. Have a watch below, and note that there's just one woman in the minute-long spot, and she's nowhere near the car. Seriously, why didn't VW run this commercial during the Super Bowl?
US-spec 2015 Volkswagen Golf and GTI to finally debut in New York
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is hardly new to us. In fact, we've already driven it. And elsewhere in the world, the new Golf is already winning awards. Even so, we still have yet to see the US-spec version of the car, though that won't be the case much longer. As part of the New York Auto Show festivities later this month, Volkswagen will finally show off the 2015 Golf models destined for our shores.
Three different versions of the Golf will debut under the lights of New York City's Javits Center: the turbocharged TSI, oil-sipping TDI and hotter GTI. The first model in that list uses Volkswagen's new 1.8-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, replacing the outgoing 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline five-cylinder. The latter two models use familiar engines: the 2.0-liter TDI diesel and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, respectively.
Even though the new Golf officially debuts later this month, it won't go on sale in the US until the first quarter of 2014. We'll be waiting patiently.
Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva
Sat, 02 Mar 2013With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
